with a guard of about fifty men was
attempting tn make his way to another
camp of his sympathizers, nt Nucv.i
Laredo, near Laredo, to stir them to
Hie action ho hail determined upon for
himself to the cud.
On t he way along mountain dcllle,
the party nan suddenly confronted by n
troxfi of Federal regulars who were on
Hndr way to llrul him at (Monterey.
Tlicio uii.i no retreat for either side,
mid ii desperate hand to hand fight
ensued
Finally a pistol shot struck ICmllio,
mrndy seriously wounded, and he fell,
i is understood that not one of Mb fol
lowers 'hs allowed to escape.
Ktulllo Madero was formerly chief of
'uuik'H In the State of Honom. He
was In IiIm thirty-third year, being seven
veats younger than his brother Fran
cisco, the fortnor President.
Kmlllo was not nn Insurrecto. He
fought In many engagements under
Gen. Ilucrtu. with whom he was at
one time on the most friendly term.
With the passing of another day In
thLs troubled capital the Huerta Ad
ministration cecms to be mnro strongly
entrenched in control than ever, Hut
this has been accomplished only by the
continued show of force. Troops occu
pied tho principal streets and every In
dication of trouble was tho occasion for
harsh dealing; by the soldiers.
Tfce Indications art to-night 'that
President Huerta and his supporter!!
are too strong to be dislodged. Th
sentiment Is growing In their favor.
Adherents to their cnuso are coming
over In largo numbers and It Is pre
dicted that In a few days they will be
.supremo In every part of the republic
Tho public seems disposed to accept
the present Government because It has
ihe Intention and power 1o enforce 1U
decrees.
Revolt Is smouldering In the out
lying States, but the rebels lack a
leader and arc scattered and disor
ganized. As rapidly as conditions In
tho capital warrant It strong detach
ments of troops will be sent to stamp
nit the scores of little disturbances.
Alberto Madero, an uncle of the slain
President, has probably been slain to
day at Chihuahua. Tho deed Is said
to have been accomplished In much the
same way as the killing of Francisco
Madero and Vice-President Pino (Juarez.
It was reported at first that Gov. Gon
zales of Chihuahua, a strong Madero
sympathizer, had also been put to death,
hut this was later denied.
Gen. Kabugo, the military Governor
of Chihuahua, sent word to El Paso to
day that Gonzales was still alive and
unmolested In prison.
Mrs. .Madero I. rare Vltj.
Scnora Madero, widow of the deposed
(resident: his mother, father and other
lolutives arc reported to havo left this
city to-day and embarked on a Cuban
gunboat at Vera Cruz tinder the pro
tection of the Cuban Minister. They
will go to Havana ilrst and then to
ICurnpe.
Plans are being made by the Govern
ment to confiscate all tin; Madero es
tates In Mexico. This seizure will ln
cluilo the personal property of the lato
President, us well as that of his father,
uncles and brothers.
Nlnety-tlvo Federal soldiers are re
ported to have been executued at Suaz,
near Juarez, to-day, liecause they re
volted when news of the killing of Ma
dero and Suarez reached them. No
'onflrmatlon of tho story has Iwn te
celvcd yet.
Iron rim It ll I r In i: lilriit'r.
Tho iron hand of tien. 1 1 net m and
Mis counsellors was apparent In the
capital city to-day. While tho men of
'hu new Government were claiming
that the backbone nf tliu resistance to
their reglmn was broken, there Is still
.i great feeling of discontent and heavy
patrols of truopH occupied the principal
streets nil the day to prevent any dis
order that might assume returns pro
portions. Hut the discontent Is all below the
.surface. It needs a great Incentive for
the dissatisfied citizens to rise against
Huerta, for they ure much in fear of the
forceful measures that the Government
has announced it will employ. Mur
muring could lie heard in various
places, hut the sight of Huerta's soldiers
or tho municipal police wan sufficient
to quell any likelihood of open rebellion.
The military dictatorship Is having
Its day and with the forces at Its com
mand seems able to control the situation
and maintain itself, at least until tho
formal election for President.
Illnx anil llnerla In Aicunl.
Gen. Diaz, the Ideal or the soldiers,
and Gen. Huerta seem to Ik- In ierfcct
accord and determined to slump out
uprisings, no matter what the cust in
olnod or lives. The capital is very
heavily gariisoned and troops are still
encamped in the public streets, pre
pared for everything. It is estimated that
the leaders could assemble nn army of
o.OOO men within a few hours, and that
idono is sufficient to keep small hands
of rebels away from the city.
There was grim humor In the ap
pearance to-day throughout the capital
nf political placards announcing the can
didacy for the Presidency of Mexico of
Jen. Diaz, Itodolfo Iteyes. Vasquez
Gomez and Gen. Orozco. The volatile
Mexicans, apparently forgetting for the
moment thut u man they had ac-
lulmcd as their Chief Executive but a
short time before, hod been shot down
hh a rebel and a plotter against the
peace of the country, went ubnut the
streets parading and hurrshlng for their
favorites as If nothing had ever hap
pened to disturb their ipilct existence
but tho throes of a political campaign,
Indication Point to Illm.
The indications are that the election
will result In the choice of Gen. Fell:;
Diaz, Itodolfo Iteyes and Foreign Min
ister do la Ilarrn appear to be his most
formidable rivals, but the nephew of
the old President is for the moment the
favorite of the people.
II was reported to-day that Vhs'iuck

testanceJjyAmbassndor Wilson of 'fit
Government's version of the killing of
Madero and Pino Simrez. It wag gen
erally admitted that no other course
could have been pursued, for if the
Ambassador had lent tho weight of his
official Judgment to the feeling against
the murders serious trouble would have
resulted.
Hut wltli the Government's protesta
tions of Its ability to cope with the
great tisl; that confronts it, In spite
of the great arrnys of soldiers In the
capital and the sending of detachments
to nit parts of the country, tho Huerta
control Is not yet founded upon n rock
and the problem of maintaining it Is a
grnve one.
The Government announced to-night
that tho Zapatistas had comn over to
them and would help In restoring order.
A conference was held between leaders
of the two factions and they agreed
that tho former rebel forces should
return to their respective Btntes.
The ZnputtstuK, It Is announced, will
work for Huerta In tho States of
Morelos, Mexico and I'uebla. To-day
regiments of Federal troops were sent
north to Join tho garrisons along tho
border. They will put down disturb
ances and uprisings that are reported
In those districts.
Say Trace t'aauot l.aal.
However, there are rumors lo-nlght
that the truco of Iluer'a and Zapata
cannot last. The rebels are said to
have Imposed such stringent conditions
that the Government will soon lie
obliged to cast them off and thus re
new the conflict.
Emlllo Madero is now considered the
greatest menace to tho Government.
He has gathered a force of about 2.000
men and 'has declared his intention of
avenging his brother's death. A Fed
eral force has been soiu against him,
but he occupies n strong position In the
mountains near the capital. Hands of
Maderistas are said to be leaving the
city to Join him.
There was a report to-day that Gen.
Huerta's troubles had been added to
by tint desertion of two of 'his Ministers,
They arc Itodolfo Iteyes, one of the
most popular men In the republic, who
was Minister of Justice, and Minister
of Qobernacion Orandano. The reason
for their rumored step Is not known
and the Government will not talk
about It.
Maaero'a Body nriartvrat.
The bodies of former President Ma
dero and former Vice-President Suarez
were taken to-day from their homes,
where they have been lying slnco the
Government surrendered them to their
families, to the French Cemetery. Here
they will He temporarily in a vault.
Madero' body will bo finally laid in
San Pedro, in Coahullu. where he was
born. Yucatan will be the final burial
place of Suarcz.
There was no fear of a disturbance
n Mexico city when the funeral corteges
moved tnrougn tne streets, nut the
menare of tho Federal troops, wtio were
everywhere, kept down the sympathy to
words.
The Chamber of Deputies will lie
draped In black for somo time because
of the many distinguished men who
have been kilted since the revolt against
Mudero begun.
Imprisoned llrpallea l-'rrril.
The Government to-day took step
that amazed everybody. An order was
issued that all the imprisoned Deputies
be freed. One of those- was .Mian
Sanchez Azcouu, who was Madero's pri
vate secretary. He was caught in flight
and Is said to have had with him
ii, 000, 000 pesos of Government money.
It had been thought he would lie among
the first to die.
Gen. Argeles Delgado. one Madero's
lxfcl generals, has also been lllierated.
but (Sen. Ileltran, who betrayed Felix
Diaz ut Santa Cruz during his first re
volt, remains In prison.
To-night reports readied me capital
of the determination of Gov. Carrnnza
of Couhuil.i not to accept Huerta. Previ
ously it had been announced tint uli
the Stales' Executives except the Gov
ernor of Tlaxxula had capitulated.
Gov. Maytcrena of Koniira, u rabid
Maderista, is said to have reached an
agreement with Huerta and will lie jxt
mlttcd to retain his post. Troops liuve
been pent to Tlazcala to bring that
State to terms.
President Huerta has ordered the
restoration to the National Pnlare of
the portraits of Porfirlo Diaz. When
Madero took possession of the palace he
ordered these pictures lemoved. To
day they were brought out and rehung
In handsome frames.
SIX REGIMENTS ENTRAIN.

CiiIiTaoo, Feb. 2i1. With six regiments
of infantry, comprising the Fourth and
Sixth brigades of the Second tactical
division of the United States army,
moving toward Texas from their various
stations .n Wyoming. Michigan, In
diana and Illinois, a .scene like war
times was presented to-day at the de
partment headquarters In the Federal
Uulldlng.
Gen. William H. Carter und the mem
bers of his staff departed to-night on
u special train after spending a busy
day at headquarters In preparation and
receiving reports of the entrnlnment and
start of tho organizations which have
been ordered to proceed to the mobili
zation camp nt Galveston, Texas.
From the Central division headquar
ters here each of the post commanders
received the simple telegraphic order
to report at the rendezvous with his
command at the earliest possible mo
ment and it remained for the post
commanders, wjth the assistance of
their quartermaster officers, to provide,
the necessury earn and entrain. This
accomplished, the only other formality
remaining was to wire to Gen. Carter
that the conimond was moving.

The status of tho new Government in

received hero by the State Department
officials. In States such as this, far
from the. capital, Madero Is still held
In high repute, for the charges that were
mado against his party by the Fellcls
tas were not so direct ut a distance or
so plausible. So tho sentiment for him
Is alive and seems to need only a little
impetus to start It going.
There Is great unrest all through
Chihuahua and hero too the attitude of
the former revolutionists will determine
whether or not war is to bo resumed.
In the city of Chihuahua tho civil Gov

has been thrown Into prison and a

NO I'OHMAL ACTION TAKEN
Statement Given Out From Em
bnssy Concerning Madero's
Fate Is Severely Criticised.
Washington. Feb. 25. Though not
yet rocognlzed by the United States the
Iluertu Government In Mexico to-day
enjoys tho strong support of the Wash-
t lugton Government.
That It has this support is not be
cause of any particular partiality for
Gen. Huerta, but because the provi
sional Government of which he Is tho
President Is now tli onlv rstnlillnherl
authority In Mexico and the solo quarter
to which the United States can look for
protection for American life and prop-
' erty.
' So urgently is such protection de
j sired by the United States Government
I that It is ready to extend Its be.st wishes
j to any authority which can keep the
! peace 111 Mexico. Consequently It Is
! earnestly hoped by the present Admin
istration In Washington that the Huerta
J Government will prove Itself equal to
the occasion. Tim sooner It can cntab
I llsh Itself in actual control of all Mexico
j the better will the officials of tho Taft
I Administration be pleased. Mettnwhlc
these ofllcluls are disposed to give the
Huerta Government its moral support
, ami friendly sympathy
Wilson's .Statement a surprise.
The statement given out by Ambassa
dor Wlhon In Mexico city last night was
entirely on his own initiative and with
out instructions from the State Depart
ment. The exceedingly friendly tone of
the Ambassador's statement, which ex
pressed his belief that the provisional
Government In Mexico was innocent of
the chargb that It had Instigated the
killing of Madero und Pino Suarez,
caused somo surprise hero to-day in un
olllclnl quarters and the Ambassador's
action was criticised as hasty and 111
advised.
At the State Department, howeer,
j there was shown u disposition to excuse
nun ror miming a statement no lrlenaiy
to the still unrecognized Government
nnd quite contrary to public opinion In
the United Stutes. It was pointed out
that the Amluissador Is actually on the
scene of the recent disturbances In
.Mexico and prolsibly has more detnlls
and more accurate knowledge of the
'needs of the situation than Is had In
I Washington.
I Wilson llreoniinriiils llet'OHnltlon,
As a matter of fact Amliassador Wll
. son has recommended that the Huerta
'Government receive recognition by the
' United States at a very early date. It
lis understood here that tho entire Diplo
matic Corps was in accord with his
lecommendntlon to the State Depart
ment. Likewise, according to Informa
' Hon received here to-day, the entire
American colony Is u unit in faxor of
early recognition of the Huerta Gov
'eminent by the United States.
This opinion held by Americans and
I other foreigners In Mexico Is not due
i to any partisanship but to the Intensely
practical xlow which they hax-e of the
, .Mexican situation. The American colony
is especially desirous that everything be
done by the United States and Its rep
resentatives In Mexico to strengthen the
new Government In order that It muy
be In a position at the earliest possible
moment to afford security for llfo and
property in Mexico. Though the Am
bassador does not go to tho extremes
of some members of tho American
colony In this view of the situation, It is
known that he Is very sympathetic with
them In their attitude. This sympathy
with the opinion of the Americans In
Mexico, it is understood here, was re
sponsible for the statement Issued by
the Ambassador last night.
Oflelal Action Withheld.
At the State Department It is con
sidered that not only the members of
the American colony but the Ambas
sador himself Is too close to the local
situation in Mexico city to appreciate
the broader view which tho United
States Government must take of the
matter of the recognition of the Huerta
Government.
Consequently tho recommendation of
Ambassador Wilson that tire new Gov
ernment lie recognized immediately has
not been acted upon favorably. Recog
nition ha not been refused, but it Is
being withheld and will be withheld
until conditions in Mexico become more
stable. Though it l;i bolleved here that
the Huerta Government Is in u fair
way to extend its authority over all
Mexico, the situuliou Is regarded us
altogether too uncertain to permit a
formal recognition at this time.
To Stute Department officials ono of
the most encouraging aspects of the
present situation in .Mexico is the fact
that the Huerta Governmont has given
ashiirances that American claims will
receive prompt attention. Prior to the
fall of the Modern Government this was
one of Die most exasperating phases of
the situation with which tho United
States hud to contend. The request of
Ambassador Wilson for consideration
and prompt action upon tho American
claims and other mutters presented were
treated by the former ofllclnls almost
with indifference, The now Govern
ment, however, hna promised to take
up with great promptness these long
pending questions and others that have
hlnco arisen,

REVOLT NOT ENDED,
SAYS GEN. GARIBALDI
(Jrandsoii of Italian I.ihcnttor
Thinks United States Should
Intervene.
WAS FJUEXD OF M AHEH0I
evolutionary Rule of Ucuernl
Huerta Cannot Last.
He Asserts.
Gen Iticciottl Garibaldi, who foiiRht
with Francisco Madero In the revolt
ngalnst l'ortlrlo Dlar. and until recently
took part In tho war against the 1 urks
ns nn officer in the Greek army, arrived
last nlk'ht by the North German I.loyd
liner Kronprlnzessin Cecllle. ,
When ho sailed from Chcibouri; ho
had the impression that Madero would
win over Diaz and ho was tinuwarc until
ho arrived at Quarantine that Gustavo
Madero had leen killed on the day after
the Kronprlnzessin departed from Cher-
bourK. He learned by wireless ns the
liner neared this coast that President
Kranclsco Mudero and Vice-President
Pino .Suarcz had been slain on Saturdny
nlKht and ho was much disturbed by the
news, havinsT known both men Inti
mately. Gen. Garibaldi Is a grandson 0f the
Itallun liberator. Gen. Glueppe Gari
baldi, and he was on the ship's list un
der his Krandfnt her's name. He is the
son of fllccluttt Garibaldi, the only sur
viving son of the liberator. Yoiiiik Gen.
Garibaldi said that he abandoned all his
Interests in Mexico to respond to the
call of his futher, who orKaulzed a le
tfnn to fight for Greece.
"I huvo returned to see what I can
save out of tho wreck. I fear that it will
not bit much, as It looks as lf there were
going to be uninterrupted strife In Mex
ico unless the t'nlted States steps In for
a time somewhat after the manner it
did In the Honduras trouble and allows
the people to have a frco and fair elec
tion. I think It would not lie safe for
me to go to Mexico Just now, as I might
be treated like Mudero, who was simply
murdered In cold blood."
As tho Oeneral was talking the Kron
prlnzessin Cecelia wa moving out of
Quarantine. Ho had not been told of
the slaying of Madero's brother, Gus
tavo, and ho remarked with ferencj
that he thanked God that there was
still "one Mudero, Gustavo, the. Wrong
est of thorn all. who can avenge the
death of President Madero, find he can
call on me at any time to assist him."
"Gustavo Madero Is dead," a ship
news reporter remarked.
Gen. Garibaldi threw up bis hunds
and gasped. He appeared to think, ns
his subsequent remarks Indicated, that
thoro was no one else who had a chance
of success against the revolutionary cle
ment. President Madero. Oen, Gari
baldi aald, had been too gcntlo with his
enemies. His faith In human nature was
misplaced In Mexico, as the results had
shown. If he had dealt with his enemies
aa tho present military enemies of lil
admlntatratlon dealt with lilm, there
would have been no revolt,
When ho left Mudero to go to Greece.
Oarllmldl said, he had urged the Presi
dent to take, extra precautions for his
own safety nnd peremptory measures
against his enemies. Ho had advised
the court-martial of Gon. Diaz linnio
dlately after his capture. Oen. Manuel
Mondrngon had been the brains of the
revolutionary party. The wholo enter
prise. Including tho doing nway with
President Madero. "had been planned
with cool blooded dctormlnitlon."
About tho Interference of the United
Stntes to bring about a "condition of
civilization." Gen. Garibaldi said: "it
Is generally Inadvisable for the United
.States to Intervene in iJitln American
countries because of the loss to the
American market. In the c.-iko of
Mexico It Is somuwliut different than
It would be In any Houth American or
Cent ml American Ktnte, because there
are In Mexico more than Ifi.OOO Amer
icans and about $1,000,000 of American
, money nro Invested there.
"ir the United States attempted Inter
vention with tho Idea of seizing Mexico
Uicro would ensue u bloody and almost
